Bug 2209405

(I'm filing issues with all the packages that currently depend on `dnf`.)

DNF 5 is a new package manager that will replace DNF 4 in Fedora 39+:  Starting in Fedora 39, the `dnf` command will be provided by the `dnf5` package rather than the `dnf` package, and `dnf5` will obsolete `dnf`. Since rbm currently depends on DNF 4, it should choose one of the following strategies to avoid breaking the Fedora upgrade:

- Add support for DNF 5, and depend on the `dnf5` package in Fedora 39+ instead of `dnf`. Builds of DNF 5 are available in this COPR repository: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/rpmsoftwaremanagement/dnf5-unstable/, and documentation is available here: https://dnf5.readthedocs.io/en/latest/.
- Alternatively, or in the meantime, change the rbm package to depend on `python3-dnf` instead of `dnf`, and call the `dnf-3` binary instead of `dnf`. The old DNF 4 command will still be available in the distribution, but only as `dnf-3` (the binary is called `dnf-3`  rather than `dnf4` for historical reasons; it is the "Python 3 version" of DNF). The first option is preferred to this one; it is not recommended to modify installed software using both DNF 4 and DNF 5 on the same system.
- Or, if this package is no longer being maintained, consider removing it from Fedora.

At some point, this project should adopt DNF 5, but the immediate issue is removing the dependency on `dnf`. We are planning to replace DNF with DNF5 in Fedora Rawhide very soon, by 2023-06-01, and the rbm package will break as long as it still depends on the `dnf` package.
